CMS For Flash Websites: FlashMoto CMS

When we hear about a Flash CMS, there is mostly a prejudice that it may not be that functional.
FlashMoto CMS is a totally different one which is quite impressive & really works for managing Flash-based websites.
With the help of a good-looking & easy-to-use interface, a website is controlled just like a standard CMS but with the extras that Flash offers.

What does it offer in a snapshot?

Using FlashMoto CMS, it is possible to:

• add unlimited number of pages, update or delete them
• manage your website menu (with sub-menus)
• create image galleries & add-remove images to them
• create forms
• upload videos & music
• insert shapes or other Flash files

The content is created using a WYSIWYG editor. There is a media library where you can upload images, video or SWF files & use them in any part of the website with a few clicks.

It has a built-in gallery component for displaying a list of images and/or videos. This feature is specially useful for designers, photographers or anyone willing to present a portfolio.
Adding a standalone background music or embedding videos from popular services like Youtube, Vimeo is also a breeze.
Similar to HTML websites, websites created with FlashMoto CMS are indexable by search engines & every page has their own URLs + titles.
It also allows you to define the Google Analytics details & statistics of the website will be tracked (every page will tracked even it is a Flash website).

Like mentioned in the beginning, FlashMoto CMS is like a standard CMS, it controls websites that are prepared to fit the XML-based templating system it offers.
